83 Year Old Man Convicted of Solicitation
83 years old, a World War II veteran. Convicted of trying to hire a prostitute.
He came into the courtroom wearing a wrinkled Packers hat. Court proceedings were complicated by Eugene Kasza's poor hearing. Several times the lawyers and judge were almost shouting at the guy to get him to respond to questions.
He testified that after a few beers he left a bar when "a commotion" caught his attention, a woman (an undercover cop) "making eyes" at him. He responded just like any of us would I suppose.
He told her "I have money".
See that right there is an important step in any business negotiation, you have to look like a serious buyer. His age might have taken him out of consideration, until he stepped up with the jack.
His defense attorney said his age is an important consideration. "We don't know how long we have him here. He's in his twilight, fighting for his reputation".
He ain't dead yet counselor.
